  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1
    Stir together the yeast, sugar and warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2
    In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, chop the herbs. Turn off machine. Add flour and salt. Turn the machine on and off a couple of times. While the machine is running, add yeast. Process until the dough forms a ball at the side of the bowl. Add garlic, olive oil and process for 30 to 40 seconds more.
  3. 3
    Transfer dough to a bowl that has been oiled with olive oil. Turn the dough until the entire surface has been coated with the oil. Cover bowl with a damp towel and allow to rise in a warm draft free place for 1 hour or until doubled.
  4. 4
    Roll out on a lightly floured surface and if dough is too elastic, try tossing it from hand to hand to flatten it out. Lightly grease the pizza pan with a little oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. Place the dough on the pizza pan and trim the edges. Bake for 10 minutes @425 degrees. Remove from oven, lightly brush the crust with a little more oil and proceed with recipe.
